Obligatory Oatmeal ref:

Yeah, it’s the io9 folks who will know that. Hi!

All bananas already are genetic clones. At least, the Cavendish style that people buy in grocery stores are all clones.

Klay Thompson was 9/15 from 3 and 2/11 from within the arc at one point. Checking box score, he was 11/18 for 3, but 2/12 for 2. What kind of crazy is that?

I was introduced to Tom King by his recent Vision series. I’ll have to check this out.

Not necessarily. You were dismissing his point about rebound totals, and that wasn’t exactly fair. He was trying to show the indicators in previous matchups that would allow an outsider observer to predict what’s currently happening. It’s like the way that Pythagorean scores are a better predictor of future success…

Unanimity is not a factor. It’s a coincidence.

I’m going to pounce on this every time now: if you take away Curry’s shot, you’ve got to take away Russ’s best feature. It’s a dumb goddamn comparison.

Something that I don’t get about these comparisons: if we’re taking something away from Steph Curry, why are we leaving everyone else alone? Like, if we take away Curry’s shot, why aren’t we taking away, from your example, Kyrie’s handle, CP3's passing, Rubio’s defense, or Westbrook’s explosiveness?

For whatever reason, your comment reminds me of this old blog (no new content in years) that used to have some challenging posts:

Wait, are you trying to say we can’t talk about large swaths of people as monolithic entities? Get that fucking heresy out of here. Oh, I’m not really angry. I’m attempting to mimic the linguistic patterns of the cool kids around here.

Fuck you. There’s a generation in the middle of those two.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I went “no flour, no sugar” a year ago. I miss bread. If I eat bread again, it will be like this.

Nicely put. I wouldn’t have been as polite to the vast misreading as you were.

Slow down there, big guy. In what way did the original post, that you are responding to, include any mention of “protecting ‘other’ people from coming across potentially offensive materials”? Nowhere. You started a rant at your own conclusion that came from no evidence. Slow down.

Nougat

Rhymes with meek.

Cosby’s a terrible person, but his PhD is real. Just because you don’t like somebody doesn’t invalidate whatever they’ve done that you (might) respect in someone else.

Well, a true fuck you to pundits and bullshit would be OKC vs. Toronto, really.
